In all my days in aviation, (20 years up to now) I have never come across anyone quite so pleased with him or possibly herself as old puffing billy here.
The ex BA guys were/are in the same boat as the rest of us, the secondees all have jobs and in some cases commands to go back to. There was never any question of their future being in any danger whatsoever and despite that they were pretty much all decent guys and have had the self awareness not to rub it in since the announcement.Unlike arrogant little Hitlers like you. The secondees were parachuted into direct entry commands that would have otherwise gone to GSS employees. The ex BA chaps that you so arrogantly dismiss had to join the queue like everyone else. How that made them any 'danger' to the rest of us is nonsense. Not everyone lives a blameless and perfect life like you so obviously do and there are such things as divorce and maybe not being in the BA pension scheme for 40 years, things that you in your little bubble will obviously never suffer as you are so bloody perfect.
As for "working hard" to pass BA selection, utter bollocks. You were fortunate enough to have filled in the form on the right day so that you happened to fit the profile that the outsourced firm that screens them were looking for that afternoon. You simply had the chance that others who fell outside of whatever prescription was in force that day did not. Any number of people could be in your place today, you just got lucky, so whoopee **** for you. You are no better than the rest of us, you just seem to think you are.
I never undertook selection for BA, did you possibly get turned down for GSS? You certainly seem to have a right old downer on us.
Just pray that this never happens to you. If it suited BA to outsource all of their flying to Emirates or Qatar or anyone else they would do so. They would close down and restart the next morning under different management and you lot would be out on your ears. BALPA would be able to do precisely F**k all apart from hide in a cupboard and crap on about their tremendous financial services and nice glossy magazine. So think on, you probably believe that you are bulletproof on top of your little pedestal. Take it from a battle scarred survivor of this wretched business, you are most certainly not.
